Major updates to Buster

Written by Jeff Heard on April 3rd, 2009

The Big Board coding is going well, and as a side effect, I’ve got quite a few new widgets and behaviours for Buster that will interest people who want to use it. The newest version is 0.99.5, and a brief breakdown of what’s changed since the initial release is:

added a safeShow function to EData that prints the first n characters of an EData, hiding EOther and EByteStrings from being shown.

moved the EData type out of Event so that people who don’t want to use any builtin events can do so without polluting the type structure. Also makes for more explicit type signatures. Now requires Event/Behaviour/Widget [EData a] where it used to just require Event a/Behaviour a/Widget a.
